torpedo boats ON the port hand
After proceeding as far as Horse
Elbow buoy the Victoria and Alberta
turned to the staIboard, passed between the
two columns of large ships forming the A,
and C squadrons, and then between the
lines of the foreign ships of war As her
majesty passed through the lines of these
endless war Ships each yard being manned
with brawny tars, deafening cheer after
cheer was sent up from the lusty crews to
greet their sovereign.
BELCHING OF THE GUNS.
But it was not until the Queen had gone
through the double lines that the great can
non of the big ships began to thunder forth
the royal salute with a roar that caused the
great vessels to roll and the sea to increase
its heaving as shot after shot came booming
over the water On such vessels
works and decks were lined by
Jack Tars, and the Queen had
no reason to complain Of her reception,
either on her progress down the line or on
her return to Osborne, which was safely
reached before 6 o'clock. Taken altogether
the vessels, which were drawn up in line
when the Queen passed, extended over four
the great troop ships laden with spectators
also falling into line and salutfng the Queen
as she made her progress
ILLUMINATIONS AT NIGHT.
After the review all the visitors were
landed from the troop ships and sent ashore,
but the work of the day was not yet over,
for between 8 and 10 O'Clock tonight all the
ships along the lines were Illuminated with
lanterns and long lights, and rockets were
discharged at intervals, and the sight
was extremely pretty as viewed from
the shore. On Monday next
all the vessels comprising the squadrons
will put to sea TO their several stations car
rying instructions for making sham attacks
on various undefended portions of the Brit
ish coasts in order to test the efficiency of
the English land defensive arrangements.
The Queen did not reach Cowes until $40
o'clock tonight, the royal yacht being de-
tanned by dense fog
Tonight, electric search lights are sweep
ing the streets and the spectacle a1oat and
ashore has never been equaled.

No Doubt but the Days for Big Drives
Have Gone By.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 23-Telegrams from
Dallas and San Antonio, Tex, diScredit the
report that the Texas cattle trail is to be
abandoned and that 50, 900 head of cattle on
their way to Wyoming were yesterday
turned back at the Arkansas river. Col
Simpson, who was reported as having agents
at the alleged cattle growers meeting at
Denver, says his company was not repre-
sented there and that all the cattle he had
sent over the trail this summer are now in
Wyoming. He says it is probably true that
there is little demand for Texas cattle in
Wyoming, but that this will not cause a
heavy loss or probable failures.
Maj. Hillyard thought the report was in
tended to alarm Texas cattlemen. He
thought the trail cattle were finding slow
sale, but there was plenty of grass in In
dian Territory and no necessity to turn the
herds back. From other quarters it was
generally recognized that the old days of
the trail is over and the only salvation is to
establish packing houses in Texas.
